In the years since the release of the first film, there have been numerous attempts to write a sequel
Chronology
After his home is conquered by the tyrannical emperors who now rule Rome, Lucius is forced into the Colosseum and must look to his past to find the strength to restore Rome’s glory to its people.
Musician Nick Cave was asked to draft a version by Russell Crowe and Sir Ridley Scott
His version focused on the more mythical elements of Ancient Rome and would have seen Maximus arrive in the afterlife, only to encounter other souls who have not yet ascended.
He is eventually tasked by Jupiter and other Roman deities to return to Earth to find and kill Hephaestus, an ancient deity who betrayed them
From there, he is resurrected as a Christian and finds himself traveling back to Rome, on a mission to stop Christianity from spreading, while crossing paths with the new emperor, Lucius.
The studio decided not to proceed with this version, but the script is available to read online
The film would have ended with Maximus being cursed to live for an eternity, featuring a montage of the soldier fighting in the Crusades, World War II, and the Vietnam War, eventually revealing a modern-day Maximus working at the Pentagon in Washington.
